Well, it’s been a long time away, but with the Pens first game of the year in the books, and a performance worthy of nothing by praise by the rookie #29 Marc-Andre Fleury, I’ve gotta come out of hibernation. For those of you who only saw highlights of the game, unless you saw 46 seperate highlights for each save, you missed out big time. Actually you’d probably only need to see 30 highlights the way some of the shots came in “flurries” (that was bad). Most of the hockey world doubts the Penguins have a chance at doing anything this season, and many people disagree with the idea of signing fleury and exposing him to the NHL behind such a weak team. Fleury may have silenced those doubters for now, but the rest of the team sure gave credence to what has been said by many others.

The Islanders tonight smoked the cross-state rival NJ Devils 5-1 in their final pre-season game of the year. The Isles finished the pre-season 7-0 defeating NJ twice, Philly twice, Pittsburgh twice and Boston.

Last year before the season they had everyone’s lists of predictions. These predictions are great to write, read about now, call people crazy for their predictions, and come back to in May and see who was right and wrong.

The Hockey Zone is reporting that Brian Boucher may be moved to the Predators.

“Reports suggest that if Jon Lasak falters during training camp, Nashville is ready to pull the trigger on a deal which would see them get Brian Boucher, or possibly Zac Bierk from Phoenix. Phoenix is forced to move one of their three goalies (Sean Burke, Brian Boucher and Zac Bierk) or possibly lose one of them in the waiver draft. “

Whats the team on HTR that gets the least amount of attention? The one team that doesn’t appear to have one fan out of 7,200 members? The one team who hasn’t hasd a single article writen about them in quite possibly years? The Predators? No. The Sabres? No. The Leafs? I wish! No that distinction would belong to the Chicago

BlackHawks! “The Chicago who?” you ask. Well here’s the story on the NHL’s saddest franchise.
